Sánchez explained that “traitors to the Homeland do not deserve any type of consideration.” “12 years is very little for what they have done; perpetual disqualification from public office as well.

I believe that people who have affected us so seriously would deserve that punishment. Since it is not possible, let us at least apply the harshest penalties that correspond to our penal code.”
Due to the great impact that the initiative had, and the calls for resignation following the attack on the former vice president at the door of her house, Sánchez retracted and expressed: “Taking into account the seriousness of the social situation in Argentina, derived from the economic crisis and the permanent grievances once morest republican institutions, I consider the request to avoid the continuity of demonstrations that may affect the sensitivity of individual or collective people reasonable., so I will desist from promoting a project of these characteristics”; He stated in a letter addressed to the president of his block, Cristian Ritondo.
